Producer, songwriter, musician, engineering-whiz — John Fields defies categorization. He can’t be musically pigeon-holed, either. Whether it’s rock, pop, electronica, funk, or some combination thereof — as long as it’s high quality — Fields is ready to make music. In the past ten years John has worked with nearly 100 different artists.

" CLASP sounds RAD, I’ve always loved the analog sound and have been using plugins for a while to emulate that. They do an ‘OK’ job, but at the end of the day there is nothing like cutting to tape! Some of my bigger records that I’ve done, we always cut to tape and then we’d transfer over to Pro Tools to do further editing and overdubs. But with these records, when I listen back, they just sound great! There is a certain fullness to the sound. And now with CLASP, you don’t have to use so many plugins now that you are going through CLASP and tape. And it used to be a big hassle to lock up your tape deck with Lynxs and SMPTE and all that stuff and you would have to wait maybe twice as long after you did a drum take. With CLASP, now all that is over with. "
